hi there ,
I want to use the MHL feature but 2 things stop me.
1) I don't want to spend that much on the original one (it's about USD $40)
2) I want to use it at the gym so I don't have a way to connect it to the wall outlet ...
I wanted to know if you know of any cheap MHL adapter that does the work? ( I prefer ebay...)
p.s
just found this one , so I'm assuming these will soon pop on ebay for a low price...
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/595949307/for_samsung_galaxy_s3_mhl_hdmi.html
Still haven't found any 3rd party cables and wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't one either, because I've seen plenty that claim to be only S3 compatible and I got caught out with one the other week.

this one claims it was tested to work with the SGS3 ,
that's why I want to buy it on ebay... so if it won't work you can at least get your money back and write a bad feedback...
I'm more interested in the adapter that lets you use the old MHL cable because I have 3 of them and sure someone will soon be making a £2 knock-off I can buy a few of.

please update this thread once you'll find something interesting.
I just checked EBay and there's still no 3rd-party MHL to HDMI adapter available for the S3, almost 2 months later, so we still have only two options:
Buy the official $40 Samsung MHL to HDMI adapter
Buy an old S2 MHL adapter ($15) AND the adapter FOR the adapter ($10) == $25.
Monoprice.com has said they're coming out with their own S3 MHL cable, but that was a few weeks ago.

No. Too cheap, so it's mislabeled.
The cheapest you can find a non-samsung mhl to hdmi cable for the S3 is about $25 on ebay and amazon. cheaper than $40 for samsung's.
I'm probably going to order this one when it's in stock @ amazon next week (same version on ebay):

Is there any advantage to buying the official adapter? The way I see it if we go with the second option we can still use the mhl adapter on other phones that have the standard layout, but we couldn't with the official cable.
Do we lose any functionality going with the second choice?

Under my point of view if you are not going to use the MHL 5 pins cable (the old one) for S2 or Note, I would get the new one suitable only for S3 with 11 pins. I expect Samsung to solve the problem with MHL+USB OTG one day, and if it does, I think it would not be possible using the old MHL cable, but I must say this is just a possibility and NOT sure, maybe they will be selling a new MHL cable (if it happens I would cry and I will not buy any other Samsung product...)

Well, going forward, I expect the newer 11-pin cable to be the new standard, at least on samsung phones, so if you have no old phones around (or friends wanting to use it), just get the new cable.
Also, by the time I can upgrade again (~January 1st, 2014), I expect wireless display mirroring will be the more popular option anyway, so either cable may be obsolete.

This is correct, I wasn't paying attention when I quoted above. Either way it's still dirt cheap at Monoprice.com and a waste of money to buy an adapter.

I'm willing to bite for the full price of the Samsung MHL adapter just because I know the S3 has some problems without the official one. Anyone know of the best place to buy it? Amazon shows one but it ships from the UK and the one on Samsung's site is not compatible. Is it not out yet?
Anyone else picking it up?
I don't think it is out yet but yes, I might be getting one. It will be a whole lot easier surfing the web on my tv via the phone than using the clunky tv remote control.
I remember reading some post of a user buying one from ebay for about 9 bucks and it worked brilliantly.
i may take a chance on monoprice

I have gotten lots of good things from them including a 75ft HDMI CL2 cable for $30 shipped and a universal GPS mount that works great for any phone for like $5 shipped....and it's never been junk really, always decent quality, very happy with them over the years for any type of audio/video/cable/adapter
only thing is no way to know if it is compatible yet until someone bites, so I may do it one day soon
Well my only thing about some of the non Samsung ones is I read they don't output 1080p if that matters to you.
I emailed monoprice support about the one you linked. Will let you guys know what they say.

I personally prefer OEM items. They usually sell for around $11.
eBay, Amazon.
I already checked with Monoprice and they said that their adapter is not compatable with the S3. The Monoprice adapter is a 5 pin adapter and Samsung changed the S3 to an 11 pin adapter. There is a 5 pin - 11 pin adapter available. Most of the mhl adapters out are 5 pin and will not work with the S3. That is what I have been told. The Samsung mhl adapter is $40. You could get the Monoprice 5 pin mhl for $11 and a 5 pin - 11 pin adapter for another $10. That would work but I would personally wait for a cheaper 11 pin mhl adapter to come out than hook up multiple adapters.
constant power needed?
I was really interested in getting one of these but it looks like you will need to have an HDMI cable AND a micro USB connected to a wall socket for the MHL adapter to work... is this true, and if so, is it worth all the cable hassle?

Yes please let us know what they tell you. I thought they flipped the pins so only the official Samsung adapter would work. If 720P works, I'd be totally fine with that...
I <3 Monoprice forever. They sell things at the price they're supposed to be sold at. Still slightly pricey, but the best one stop shop I've seen.

Its a no go with those:
" Regarding our MHL adapter and the upcoming release of the Galaxy S3 in the U.S. We have tested and confirmed that the S3 uses a different pinout in regards to MHL, so our current MHL device will not work for it. We have already put in a suggestion for a device that will fully support the new S3, and we are actively working on cases and other accessories for the S3 as well. "

Any chance the MHL adapter also charges the phone? With 1%/min or game play, I can't imagine it will last very long during a game and outputting to TV...
Yes it charges the phone, but it also uses up about 200ma itself so make sure you've got a good charger.

Fixed that for you. most peole are buying ones made for the s2, which does not work without an adapter. there is only 1 or 2 aftermarket S3 ones at the time of this posting.
Did anyone try this one? I'm over an hour from Microcenter so I'm hoping a sucker.....uh, I mean fellow XDA user will give it a go

Most of MHL adapter say they fit for Note/S2/S3 and this is not possible if it does not include an extra piece (5 to 11 pins adapter), so I would only buy a non official MHL adapter for S3 if it clearly says that it only allows the S3 or/and it says it has 11 pins...
WHat is the cheapest MHL adapter that will work with the S III? And I mean one that works correctly. The official Samsung one is so crazy expensive. I wonder why no other companies have come out with one yet? Haven't they figured out the new port config?
Most MHL cables are 5-pin so those are out of the question. The only MHL cable that is 11-pin is the official $40 samsung one.
What you can do is get the $11 5-pin cable and hook it up to the $10 official samsung 5 to 11 pin converter. This way it will work the Galaxy S3 for only $21.
My local AT&T store carries the official Samsung S 3 mhl adapter but they are telling me that it doesn't do anything but play videos. The micro HDMI on my atrix 2 and my atrix HD would put whatever screen was on my phone on the TV without any translation. Can somebody who has the official adapter tell me if that's the case. If it is I'm not paying 40 bucks for it.

He went on to say that mhl cable for the Samsung Infuse only worked for movies specifically. Is that much true or was he full of sh##? He didn't cross me as being very educated about android.
You can check videos on youtube by yourself to see how the MHL adapter mirrors your phone's screen in your HDTV. Most people selling tech-stuff know very few about what they 're actually selling, even support services provided by most companies like Samsung are quite useless since they do not know enough their products...

Yeah, I knew that, I comparing the price to the generic 5pin MHL adaptor which we could use if samsung didn't decide to change to 11pin.
I guess it will never be as cheap since its a niche product for the S3.
This might sound silly but my TV doesn't have a HDMI port (it's pretty old but still slim)
Is there any other type of converters like scart to micro usb (sounds unlikely)

Same here. After doing some research it looks like an unbranded Samsung MHL adapter for the S3. The picture isn't clear enough to get the model number for comparison, but I'm pretty sure after looking at the FCC markings and other things that don't line up with the new S2 MHL adapter. :good:
Ordered it a few mins ago
This one's $20 shipped.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-MHL-T...063258?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f1c05845a
Looking forward to hearing feedback from someone who gets one of these generic adapters.
I spoke with Monoprice's customer service last week and they said they plan on having their own compatible S3 MHL cable before October. I'll probably wait until then as I know theirs will work and should be fairly cheap.
Down to $22 eh? Last I checked the knock-offs were $30, and the samsung official was $40 (now $35).
I'm going to get one of these 11pin mhl-hdmi cables when they finally drop down to $10 like the S2's is, mainly because the 5-to-11 adapter I'm using on my 5pin S2 cable is TOO WIDE for my incipio silicrylic case (and most others) so I have to bend the silicone down. So, fair warning about the adapter for the adapter
Has anybody received one of these from eBay yet? If so, how well does it work?
I've seen a few too many discussions regarding plugging in subpar adapters into these phones that have caused problems. So I may be a bit paranoid but I think I'll stick with official Samsung adapters. Good price though if it works.

Buy the real deal, unless you have an old MHL cable then I would just buy the 5-11 adapter.

I've bought this one. Works ok with the adapter.

The adapter

The problem is that the adapter is too large to connect it with a case. It's a pain to remove the case every time i connect it to the TV. They made the adapter very large (it's the original adapter from samsung tough).
I'm thinking to cut the case and someane in this post said that it's possible to cut a little of the adapter. Anyone as experience with it?
